BELLE-SKINNER w/ Thom LaFond @ The Laughing Goat

Belle-Skinner is a dark nostalgic singer-songwriter based in upstate New York and Brooklyn. With a hauntingly beautiful, lilting soprano and innate sense of melody she crafts tales of songbirds, sirens and desert nomads – nuanced and layered stories which bridge the gap between past and present. Though her influences cover a broad range of genres – from French chansons and Russian folk to contemporary alt-pop and rock – her voice often draws comparisons to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Jeff Buckley, Angel Olsen, and Lana Del Rey.

Opening for acts such as Mitski, Sean Rowe, Saint Saviour, Bill Ryder-Jones, Joy Ike, Novelty Daughter, Winterpills, and Heather Maloney, she has performed at venerated venues like The Linda, Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, and the Roundhouse Theatre in London.

Thom LaFond:

“Like Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil, so too did Thomas LaFond sell his childhood to music. The result of this blood pact is blinding manual dexterity and a life so drenched in song that the many genres of modern melody become little more than tools in his toolbox.” Roadworks Magazine (London, UK. www.roadworksmedia.com/mag).
